Are we sure McCarthy is planning to bring those guys, versus just working with them on a coaches version of an off season training program?

I think it’s safe to assume nobody knows the answer to that yet. I haven’t exactly been thrilled with the coaching stylings of Jim Haslett.

We only have a few more days until this thing really takes off.  Only members of 12 staffs will be off limits during the playoffs until eliminated, but besides that, the search will begin in earnest.  Our season as well as members of 25 other staffs will be over.  I'm interested to see some new HC candidate names pop up next week.  We've discussed Mike McCarthy ad nauseam already.

The names I’ve seen working with McCarthy, along with McCarthy himself, doesn’t strike me as an instant plug-and-play winner. But it’s not my team, and it’s not my money.

"instant winner"....doesn't appear anywhere in my post.

I think it's reasonable to assume everyone who is showing up to work with McCarthy on a daily basis is expecting to go with him when he gets hired.

A mixed bag of previous big-name HCs like Ryan and Fisher, some tenured coordinators and a relative 'new' guy like Chud.   To me that shows that you can't say that any route is safer than another...retread HC, established coordinator or the faddish new guy.

There’s actually quite a bit. Just off the top of my head. John Gruden, Mike Shanahan, Mike Holmgren, George Seifert, Gary Kubiak, Dick Vermeil, Mike Ditka, Bill Parcels, Jimmy Johnson. A lot of those are BIG name coaches. HOF coaches.

Add in Don Shula, Dan Reeves and....John Fox!

Ahh.  People were talking about "plug in coaching staff" so I wasn't sure if McCarthy had said anything in that interview that was floating around earlier. I am not too excited for this group of coaches.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
